General observation of 2015. The Committee would like to draw the Government’s attention to its general observation of 2015 under this Convention, including the request for information contained in paragraph 30 thereof.

Articles 3(1) and 6(2) of the Convention. Steps taken to ensure protection of workers, in light of available knowledge. The Committee previously noted the Government’s indication that it intended to undertake a review, in 2010, of the Approved Code of Practice relating to the Protection of Persons against Ionizing Radiations of 1995.

The Committee notes the Government’s statement in its report that the review of the Code of Practice has been delayed. However, the Government still intends to undertake the review, taking into account the provisions of the Convention and other international standards. The Committee once again expresses the hope that the Government will ensure that the provisions of the Convention are taken into account during the review of the Code of Practice, in particular with respect to Article 6(2) of the Convention, on maximum permissible doses of ionizing radiations; Article 7(2) on employment of young workers under the age of 16; and Article 8 on maximum permissible doses for workers not directly engaged in radiation work. It invites the Government to refer to the guidance contained in the general observation of 2015, and requests it to provide a copy of the revised Code of Practice once it has been adopted.
